Astronomers from The European Southern Observatory were able to obtain clear images of Neptune and distant star clusters using the MUSE receiver on the VLT terrestrial telescope and the new Adaptive Optics System,

. , manufactured by a space telescope According to the observatory, similar systems are also installed on other terrestrial telescopes, which will then allow to acquire astronomical object images in a visible range of wavelengths with a resolution not inferior to orbital observatories and to study their properties and their evolution.

Using the VLT, astronomers can receive information on distant galaxies, exoplanets, star clusters and systems, as well as more exotic objects – black holes, neutron stars and supernova remnants.
